Perhaps as a whole, women are cleaner and molre hygienic than men, but I onced cleaned pulic restrooms and I would dare to say that men can often be cleaner.

Too often women would leave pee all over the seat by doing the “hovering method”. Plus, there were far too many times where there were (sorry, in advance TMI) bloody tampons and sanitary napkins floating about in the toilet, or left non-wrapped in the disposal box. Sorry, but many women are just plain nasty in a public bathroom. I am sure they would never dare do that at home.

I’m with TOW. Having cleaned more than my fair share of public restrooms, I have to say that, while men’s rooms generally smell much, much worse, women are downright foul in the things they do and leave behind them.

Speaking of which, what about the skanks who drape the seat with tp so their dainty little bums will never have to touch public porcelain, then go off and leave that stuff for me to dispose of?

I had a job cleaning public loos once, and the worst thing was when some woman came to me and asked me to remove the toilet paper someone else had left on a seat. I was sick of being treated like some kind of slave, and I’d just gotten over a nasty stomach bug that I’m sure I picked up from my pestilential job, so I just said “What? So it’s okay for me to have to pick up someone’s germy paper and get sick?” She didn’t take that very well.

Isn’t that why God (or fairies or santa clause) invented toilet seat covers? I’m sorry, but when I’m taking a pee, I’m on a break. I’m checking my blackberry, planning my grocery list in my head or listening the the conversation the girl in the stall beside me is having on the phone. I’m not there to work my quads.

I can’t imagine sitting without a pee check and 1-2 seat covers though.

Penn & Teller talk about the whole toilet seat covers and germs on public toilets.

Basically, they say that the toilet seat cover was invented by a dentist, but are actually crap. Germs like to live in a warm and wet environment, however toilet seats don’t stay very wet for a long time.

P&T tested for germs on 4 different people on their butts, hands, faces, and (in the case of the men) genitals. Both females barely had germs on their butts, hands, and only one of them had light germ growth on her face. Both of the males had barely any germs on their butts, their hands had light growth, and one of the guys had moderate germ growth on his face. Even their genitals had light growth, proving that you should be more worried about touching someone’s hands than their backsides (and that one guy’s face).

And urine is sterile. So even if you see drips on the seat, you’re not going to get some terrible disease and die.

Danielle, you need to google what happens when porcelain cracks… it tend’s to break into extremely sharp shards and when you land on those shards it tends to cut into things quite easily. If your femoral artery is cut you better hope someone notices the pool of blood oozing out the bottom of the toilet door before you bleed to death. There are some interesting photo’s of this floating around the internet…

And urine is sterile. So even if you see drips on the seat, you’re not going to get some terrible disease and die.

That’s true. However, sometimes you can’t see the urine on the seat (or are in a desperate hurry and don’t look before you sit). If I want someone else’s urine on my body, I want it to be from a golden shower, not a toilet seat.

Well, if you are going to hover, why not put the seat up and hover over the larger area that provides? Too lazy? Loaded down with cigarettes, lighter, and books to read while you hover? How do you know you are the master hoverer?

Well, Park Rose, we know that not even a toilet seat cover (or one constructed out of toilet paper or whatever) will protect your ass from the many dangers of public toilet seats. Especially the urine.

you know what danielle, i’m with you. i don’t wanna touch the toilet seat either. i have no desire to come into contact with any bodily fluid from a stranger’s nether regions regardless how ‘sterile’ it is.

hovering can work and if you’re carefully positioned there should be no spillage. but in any case, once you’ve finished, you can do an amazing trick…

you can turn around and LOOK to make sure you haven’t ‘sprinkled whilst you tinkled’* and if you have, you can be the proverbial sweetie and wipe the seatie

Kudos to whoever said that the hoverers are the *reason* people don’t want to sit on the seat. My husband cleaned restrooms for about a year, and there is no contest – women are much filthier (though men make up for it by occasionally leaving something really heinous like a dead hooker or something.) That’s why they needed more people for the ladies room than the men’s, though – hell of a lot more work.

The artwork on this note is…well damn, I have no words. I thought they were jellybeans or something.

AHHH so you’re the chick that I have called back into the stall she has just vacated to clean up her own *mastery*?
I’m not here to clean up your piss. If I wanted to do that I’d have kids or breed puppies for crissakes. Sit your ass down. You aren’t picking up anything from a public toilet seat that you haven’t already picked up from your last boyfriend.

Public bathrooms ought to install those hole-in-the-ground toilets that are MADE for hovering; the ones with seats are meant to be sat on and that’s why hovering makes a mess in them. Then we could all have a choice and the squatters could squat and the sitters could sit and no one would have a problem anymore. Some of us have physical problems that would prevent us doing anything but sitting so you’d have to leave us some seats – but at least then they’d be free of hoverpiss.

For months Ms. Paint went back-and-forth, back-and-forth, about allowing Professor Plum and Mr. Green to help with the drawings for the mansion MSDS. She would tell Ms. Scarlett one thing, and Ms. White another. Finally, everyone refused to play anymore games with her.

Well. I think we need to correct you there, aaa. It is obviously daffodil yellow.

Narcissus was taking a pee, and as is his wont, once he finished, he stared at himself in the now yellow waters (apart from that which he’d splashed on the rim) for so long that as he knelt and gazed he fell into the water and drowned. The Narcissus plant, or the daffodil, first sprang from where he died. Those yellow egg-shaped things are the seeds, the mere germination of this sad tale, which, needless to say, has a happy ending (if you like flowers).

Apart from being the germination of the daffodil plants that will spring forth, the seeds/piss are so yellow because he was also dehydrated as his vanity got the better of him, and he was dying from starvation and thirst. It’s a wonder he didn’t drink the water, but I guess his reflection saved him from that ignominy.

Beware TOS, You have got worthy competitor.
rose, why do you hate Narcissists? they are totally selfless people, I mean for you have to be selfish you need to acknowledge other peoples presence in the first place. no?
btw I am the prettiest girl on the face of this earth. total random fact, following your footsteps.

I don’t think I can take this sign seriously. I mean, everyone knows that cool kids use Photoshop. Hell, I’d even take openCanvas over MS Paint (although somehow I get the feeling this dude isn’t artsy enough for openCanvas :O ). I may have to break my vow of not being a jackass seat-pisser and piss all over this dude’s toilet seats just to spite him.

I dunno, I think this has to be PowerPoint or Visio. Much better editing capabilities with the autoshapes, and all. I mean, he HAD to be able to position those droplets just right, you know?

Plus, it looks like the only thing keeping those toilet seats from being full ovals is the nontransparent YES and NO text boxes at the top.

Come to think of it–it would be soooo easy to cut out the YES and NO and switch them–if, that is, you are ok with having that much manual contact with that sheet after it’s been hanging over the toilet.

I share a house with other people. One of them is always pissing all over the toilet seat in the middle of the night. Maybe I should get a sign like this done up and posted? He can’t speak any damn English so the pictures might help.

If he can’t speak any English, I suggest ushering him into the bathroom after he leaves piss on it, pointing at the piss, and then start gesticulating wildly with some pruning shears in the vicinity of his dick while screaming wildly. I think he’d get the point then.

Just a note in defense of hoverers–Have you ever noticed that public toilets have an epic flush? And that some of that water splashes on the seat? I’ve been grossed out many times by women, then begrudgingly cleaned the seat, hovered (if there was grossness I cleaned that up too) and the flushed to see water back on the seat. So sometimes you’re blaming people you shouldn’t be blaming. Check it out post flush sometime.

Danielle I think oi was attempting to point out that you didn’t reply to eva in the same thread so that your comment appeared out of context and so was all
If you click the blueish “reply to this comment” right under the comment you want to reply to,like eva’s, it will locate your comment in the same thread…

"The thing that drives me bonkers at work is to open up the trash can drawer and see a cup half-full of water that was carefully placed into the trash can so it doesn't spill--in a trash can an arm's length away from the kitchen sink!

99% of the people in my office are college graduates, probably toward the top of their class. But some without enough common sense to pour the water in the sink before putting the cup into the trash can.
